Assign keystrokes

You can assign keystrokes to customizable components of your device, like ExpressKeys and pen buttons. As a result, pressing a button on your device performs the specified action instead of pressing the keystroke on your keyboard. You can also assign a combination of keystrokes, so you only have to press one button instead of an entire keystroke combination.

1. Open Wacom Center.
2. Select your device in the Devices sidebar.
3. Select one of your device's customizable components (Pen settings, for example).
4. In Wacom Tablet Properties, click any of the drop-down menus next to a customizable component.
5. Select Keyboard > Keystroke.... The Define Keystroke window will display.



6. In the Keys box, enter the keystroke that you want to assign (Ctrl, for example). If you want to assign a combination of keystrokes, enter each keystroke that you want in the combination (Ctrl+Z, for example).
   • You can enter letters (a, A, b), numbers (1, 2,100), function keys (F2, F3), and modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt). You can also choose pre-defined combinations from the Add Special drop-down list.
   • Click the Delete button to remove only the last keystroke you entered.
   • Click the Clear button to remove all the keystrokes you entered so you can start over.
7. Enter a Name for your keystroke and click OK.
• The name appears on On-screen shortcuts, in Wacom Tablet Properties, and in Settings view, so enter a name that indicates the keystroke you assigned.
• If you are assigning numbers to a Keypad, it is best practice to name the Keystroke the number that you assigned. For example, if you assign the number 8 to a Keypad button, name the Keystroke 8.
Note: If no Name is entered, the keystroke keys will display (e.g. {Ctrl}c).
